Three teams from a Bradley Stoke street dance group were victorious in their respective classes at the recent 2009 UDO Welsh Street Dance Championships in Newport.
Fahrenheit Dance Studio Bristol’s K Boom team (pictured above, left) came first in the under-10 newcomer category.
The group’s Escape team (centre) were winners of the under-14 open category, while “veterans” BS1 (right) beat off six other teams to clinch the under-18 intermediate title.
The teams all train on Saturdays at Riverside Leisure Club, Little Stoke, and they also took part in the recent 10th Anniversary celebration event at Bradley Stoke Leisure Centre.
Fahrenheit’s leader Miraille Dehaney says the teams are all looking forward to the British Championships, which take place at Brean Sands in February:
They will have hard competition as the Irish and Scottish teams all compete there, but I have every faith that they will get placed.
The group runs “pay as you go” dance classes on Tuesday evenings at Bradley Stoke Leisure Centre.
